Suspension Squeak

[Bingle]

Hi
I recently had a 40mm lift on my rugged x, TD adjustable. However the upper control arm rubbers appear to be squeaking... has anyone had this or have a solution? Going back to the mechanic on the weekend but thought I would ask here first...

Cheers

Did they change the rubber bushes when they installed the lift kit ?
If not there probably under tension in a new position causing the squeak.

So you squirted some wd40 on the upper rubbers and the squeak stopped?

is that the fix ?

Should he have done that? Sorry only have very very basic mech experience

How many klms on the original ?
You might not change them if there in good condition, and reasonably new. It's going to vary, based on how the vehicle has been used and maintained.

You wouldn't think they would need replacement, how many years old ?
I'd give them a spray of silicon lube and see
If they quieten down.

I’d start with silicon spray not WD.

just do a join at a time to confirm what’s making the noise

Mate so annoying. will lose and re tighter the UCA rubbers and silicone first. Then will look at them but shouldn’t as new

Actually don’t think it’s the UCA. Newish hilux and new suspension. Not every bump just a big squeak and the bigs one

If your not 100% sure, using a gopro or similar mounted in or under the wheel well may help find where its coming from.
